Here are some steps you can try to resolve the issue:

  • Check Physical Connections: Ensure your webcam is properly connected to your computer. If it's a USB webcam, try plugging it into a different USB port.
  • Check for Hardware Switches: Some laptops have physical switches or keyboard shortcuts to enable/disable the webcam. Refer to your laptop's manual or look for a camera icon on the keyboard or side area of the laptop.
  • Update or Reinstall Webcam Drivers: Open Device Manager (press Windows + X and select Device Manager), expand "Imaging devices" or "Cameras," right-click your webcam, and select "Update driver." If that doesn't work, you can also try uninstalling the driver and restarting your PC to reinstall it.
  • Adjust Camera Privacy Settings: Go to Settings>Privacy & security>Camera and ensure that "Camera access" is turned on. Also, make sure that "Let apps access your camera" is enabled.
  • Run the Camera Troubleshooter: Go to Settings>System>Troubleshoot>Other troubleshooters. Select the "Camera" troubleshooter and follow the instructions.
  • Disable and Enable Webcam Device: In Device Manager, right-click your webcam, select "Disable device," wait a few seconds, and then right-click again and select "Enable device."
